- "Twelve years after the successful radio premiere in 1939 of The old maid and the thief, Menotti selected a bold three-measure motto theme from the opera's third scene as the germ for his most advanced piano composition. Recercare and Toccata on a theme from "The old maid and the thief" was composed in 1951 and premiered on November 1 of that same year in Town hall by Ania Dorfmann, to whom it was dedicated"--Page [2]
